Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling Like

Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

Well I agree in the case of some of the worst hacks.

Quite So.

But there was a time, particularly around 2003, when the US invaded Iraq, I remember distinctly many people who disagreed with the invasion were accused of hating the troops. When most of the people of course supported the troops always, just didn't agree with the mission.

Well when you have left wingers burning flags and burning troops in effigy at their rallys what do you expect?

I can tell you I went to support the troops rallys where nothing like that happened. You can't have it both ways my left wing friend.

What timing...in the VFW we take care of widows of deceased members...by fixing things around their house...taking them where they need to go...doctors etc and picking them up if they dont drive and bringing them to the post to socialize and have some fun...anyway...I went and picked up one of the ladies a few days ago..and were sitting at a table talking and she told me the hightlight of her day was going to the mailbx and reading the junk mail and the newspaper.
 
Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

There is a BIG difference between supporting a war and supporting our Troops. The radical right forgets that when it is convenient.

If Senator Reid is the standard by which we frog march Congress persons then I believe a whole swath of the so-called 'conservative' side of the aisle would look good hopping right behind him!

The Post Office needs to be cut lose to find it's own niche. Blaming Congress for their problems is fun I suppose but the real problem is generational. Most Americans no longer use 'snail mail' with pay online options. I pay my credit cards off by snail mail but everything else gets done online. I see no problem with reducing the number of days and closing some of the middle of nowhere branch offices.

Sen Reid supports Unions. Of course he supports the post office. That the birthers, 'conservatives', and harp on any fault crowd is rolling on this like a stizu does poop is not surprising.

Not trying to be a jerk, but that's not a good enough reason to continue the current mail system, at it's current cost.
Maybe this lady should be taught to use a pc and find forums for retired people or something like that.

There are other options.
 
Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

I was in Iraq when I heard Senator Reid had said the war was lost. I recall being pretty pissed off at the time. Not least because we found that s*** on enemy propaganda, designed to convince the populace that we were going to abandon them and anyone who worked with us would be killed afterwards.

I'm sure you were equally taken aback by those of your ilk that voted against bills designed to help veterans. I am also quite certain you called them out for it.

21 years in the military and I can honestly say that most of the benefits we received were from the right side of the aisle and the Republicans and as they are now with Hussein Obama on the left side of the aisle nothing but cutbacks for our military.

Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

My Mother lives in A Retirement Village_ with approximately 500 other seniors_ Sadly 90% do wait for the mailman as the highlight of their day,with junk mail being the top percenter they receive, as most have No- other mail communication,thru friends or family"
as for receiving emails,
that 90% would not even know how to turn on a computer_ if they owned one. Doesn't make what Reid said Right" it just is_ where she lives anyway.
 
Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

Somehow I think seniors are checking the mail for their SS check not for junk mail. Then again where would we be without cowboy poetry and junk mail, life wouldn't be worth living.

Some Republicans vote one way on a bill to get something on another.............Its called you scratch my back I will scratch yours......Bottom line the troops always vote Republicans. That is why democrats always try to disenfranchisese them by not counting absentee ballots.

Well why don't you write her a letter...Seriously though Reid is full of crap...no one senior ortherwise wants to receive junk mail.......Mine goes directly from my mail box to my trash can.

So the troops are a dependent class brainwashed into voting for Republicans for benefits. Got it.

No - no. I'm playing by your lose definition of "socialist". The troops are a dependent class. And you? A supporter of socialism.

Oh so they don't vote on principal. As a party of family values and all?

Surely you have a link to support this?

No.. the DoD rarely allows significant political polling in the military and the few times it has it's shown that the troops are a political spread to no significant deviation from the rest of the us population, as it should be.

If that is so and after serving in the military for 21 years I know it isn't then why do Democrats always try to withhold or not count absentee ballets submitted by the military? I will tell you the reason is because democrats know that in a close election the absentee ballots will swing the way of the GOP.

No I was just there for 21 years and saw how the military always supported the GOP.
 
Re: Harry Reid: ‘Seniors Love to Get Junk Mail…Only Way of Communicating or Feeling L

Question Reid should answer.
Why does Congress basically control what the USPS can charge for mail? If Congress wants the USPS to continue at six day a week delivery, avoid layoffs, closures, then let them decide how to generate revenue and what rates they need to stop loosing money.

Ths Post Office is NOT losing money. They are being forced by Congress to fund their pension plan for the next 25 years in only 5. It's a disgrace
